TIP 2181 – Stop Suicide

Work Smart Live Smart with Beverly Beuermann-King

Listen to today's podcast...

“A permanent solution to a temporary state.”

We often don’t hear about those that died by suicide. Because we don’t talk about it, those around us can suffer in silence, unaware of the supports that may be available to them. There is little funding because there is no public outcry. But the issue of suicide touches us all – whether directly or indirectly.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and it is celebrated on September 10th each year as a way to improve education about suicide, disseminate information, decrease stigmatization and, most importantly, raise awareness that suicide can be preventable.

Around the world, every 40 seconds someone dies by suicide.
